This is where Solar Sister comes into the equation. Solar Sister is an
organization dedicated to putting an end to Energy Poverty by empowering women
with economic opportunity. The organization combines the breakthrough potential
of solar technology with a deliberately woman-centered direct sales network to
bring light, hope and opportunity to even the most remote communities in rural
Africa. Being a woman is hard but being a woman living in Africa is even
harder. Solar Sister creates sustainable businesses, powered by women
entrepreneurs. Solar Sister believes that when you invest in a woman, you
invest in the future. Thus far, there are over 400 entrepreneurs and close to
54,000 people benefiting from solar light. Multidimensional initiatives like
this not only help to alleviate energy poverty but they is also help individuals establish
themselves during these challenging times.
